![]() We reviewed the challenges associated with campaigns to eradicate invasive mammals from islands inhabited by humans and domestic animals. To conserve native species diversity, invasive mammals have been eradicated from several islands not inhabited by humans. Non-native invasive mammal species have caused major ecological change on many islands. For effective conservation much direct action is needed, including management plans for virtually all sites and wardening at the most important sites. Although the importance of the Azores seabird fauna was recognised in recent inventories, accurate population estimates are lacking and many potential breeding areas need surveying. They range from predation by introduced mammals, human disturbance and exploitation, habitat loss due to invasive alien plants and overgrazing by rabbits, and, potentially, competition with fisheries. Current threats to the Azores seabirds are diverse and may differentially affect the various species. The chick-rearing periods of Procellariiformes with similar ecological niche do not overlap, suggesting that segregation related to partitioning of food resources or breeding habitat may be operating. Intra- and inter-specific competition for nest sites is noteworthy among burrowing Procellariiformes and shortage of optimal breeding habitat seems important in limiting their populations. While the main islands were important breeding places in the past, most seabird populations are now restricted to small islets. ![]() Historical population trends inferred from 16th and 17th century chronicles indicate dramatic declines for most species. This paper reviews their past and present status, ecology and conservation. Dedicated to the maintenance and care of olive trees, the production and harvesting of olives and the extraction of olive oil.The breeding seabirds of the Azores comprise five species of Procellariiformes, four Charadriiformes and one Pelecaniform. It is made by two young entrepreneurs: Xavi and Jesús, architect and lawyer by profession. And if that were not enough, this very special oil is flavored with leaves, plants, fruit skins, mushrooms and spices. Extracted cold to provide an exquisite flavor, intensifying its most authentic taste. Special also for its elaboration, because the olive oil is obtained in a totally handmade way: from the olive tree to the bottle, manufacturing each step with delicacy to preserve all its aromas and properties. The Mediterranean breeze and the famous Tramontana that the locals suffer are two of the secrets for this Argudell olive oil to have such a special taste. Special because it is precisely in this area of the Mediterranean coast where this variety of olive finds the optimal edaphoclimatic conditions for its perfect development. A variety native to the area of Alt Empordà, Girona, highly prized for its elegance and finesse. Special because of the olive variety with which it is produced: Argudell. Llàgrimes del Canigó is the name that gives rise to a very special extra virgin olive oil. Cold extraction gives an exquisite flavor to each drop of our extra virgin olive oil, intensifying its most authentic taste. They elaborate the oil with olives of the Argudell variety, native to the Alt Empordà area (Girona). Its elaboration is completely handmade, from the tree to the plate, manufactured with delicacy to preserve its aromas and properties. Llàgrimes del Canigó creates flavored extra virgin olive oil from different varieties, which are bottled emotionally to dress all your dishes. Llàgrimes del Canigó is born among the olive groves of the Alt Empordà, with the Mediterranean breeze and the water of the Pyrenees.
